A Captains Fortunate Discovery

Capt Coleman, schooner Weymouth, plying
between Atlantic City and New York, had
been troubled with cough so that he was un-
able to sleep and was induced to try DR. Kings
New Discovery for consumption; it not only
gave him instant relief but allayed the extreme
soreness of his breast; his children were simi>
lsrly affected and a single dose had the same
happy effect; DR. Kings New Discovery is
now the standard remedy in the Coleman
household and on board the schooner. Free
trial bottles of this standard remedy at Pat
tersons' drug store.

Every stroke of the short, strong paddles
which, instead OF being spear pointed like
those Of the Grain coast, or spoon shaped Ike
those of the Niger, Irsemble q clumsy three
pronged fork, with very broad and thick
p0ints-is accompanied by a sharp yell, such
as Mr.. Lowell humorously called "a dogs
ology,' and sometimes even by few words
of untranslatable abuse, hurled with angry
gestures at the furious waves. Meanwhile
scores of eager eyes watch our progress both
from the ship and from the shore, but, except
when suddenly flung up on the crest Of huge
billow, both we and our boat are completely
invisible from either point And now the
yelling grows louder and wider as the strokes
of the paddles suddenly quicken, and the beat
rocks to and fro till it appears as if one inch
more must turn her right over. while. as we
swoOp upward on the whirl Of mighty wave,
the shore and the great pillows that thunder
upon 1t, hitherto dim and distant, start all at
once into perilous nearneSs.
We are now running parallel with the line
Of gnashing breakers along the beach. cur
only chance being to skirt its terrible outer
edge till we can seize favorable moment for
our final rush. As the next wave lifts Us upon
its crest we see a swarm of black figures bur

earpiercing howl from our crew, the boat is
whirled onward ike a stone from q sling,
there comes a tremendous shock. deafening
crash, al indistinct vision of black faces and
outstretched arms amid swirl of boiling
foam, and then feel myself clutched by half
a dozen hands at once and borne landward in
